Palcohol is a new product that has been approved for sale in the US. It is essentially powdered alcohol! You just add water and you've got yourself an alcoholic beverage. 

[UPDATE] Nevermind :( 

The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau has approved Palcohol for sales in the US, starting this fall.

Palcohol will come in several different flavors including vodka, rum, Cosmopolitan, Mojito, Powderita and Lemon Drop.

Oh, before you get any "bright" ideas, they don't recommend trying to snort it either!

Can I snort it? We have seen comments about goofballs wanting to snort it. Don’t do it! It is not a responsible or smart way to use the product. To take precautions against this action, we’ve added volume to the powder so it would take more than a half of a cup of powder to get the equivalent of one drink up your nose. You would feel all pain for little gain. Just use it the right way.

Don't do it, man. Just don't do it.

The purpose for Palcohol is easier way to transport alcohol. Packing an ice chest will be much different now, I suppose. The guy who invented it, Mark Phillips, does a lot of outdoor activities like hiking, biking, camping, kayaking, etc. After doing said activities, sometimes he just wanted to relax with a drink. Those activities don't exactly lend to carrying bottles of alcohol or beer. Water was the only logical drink. And there, Palcohol was born.
